Vimrod




I have been receiving and giving Vimrod cards for a couple of years now. I dont really think that for someone's birthday you can go wrong with a cheeky little card with some animation of little people with really big heads.
The whole theme of the cards is very tongue and cheek, often just on a white background and possibly only including one colour. The font is always like someones hand writing whilst they are drunk and the animation looks like someone is having a laugh. But all together i think it works brilliantly, and it's total sparseness is what actually makes it stand out.
When looking into Vimrod more i realised that they dont only do cards, they seem to create every single thing under the sun. From flip-flops to money boxes they are branching out their company in every possible way all with a similar look and feel as the cards have. So maybe now i can not only give and receive Vimrods cards, i can give and receive their gifts too!

i love the illustrations on these cards. They are so simple but are very effective. And the use of two colours and white stock creates emphasis upon the message of the cards.

You can guarentee on gaining a smile everytime you gave someone one of these cards.
